Especially since the electrical directions are real computers that only work connected to the computer of modern cars (when their control is not integrated in said computer).

Even more radical: stop it when it is not used.
The difficulty being to detect when it is not used ...

it is for simplicity that I am only talking about slowing it down: if it is still running, a pressure sensor is enough to know if it is useful: in a straight line the direction distributor lets everything pass: low pressure, that the power steering becomes useful, the pressure rises, and the pressure sensor puts the pump full pot

it is quite possible that for the small movement that we make when we drive at high speed the pump always remains at a slower speed, and only starts full pot for maneuvers

we could even do without a pressure sensor by measuring the current consumed: when the pump has a low pressure it consumes less, so we reduce the voltage ... when the pressure rises, it increases the current so we increase the voltage
